April: sorted

There's more to April than chocolate and getting your optimistically summery threads soaked in surprise rain showers. There's also whole heap of exciting new stuff dropping in the worlds of TV, music and clothes you can buy on the internet. Check out some highlights below.

Slide 1

Derbyshire duo Drenge return with their sophomore album Undertow on 7 April. It's a marginally less thrillingly grumpy affair than their self-titled 2013 debut, but features the same basic ingredients of a couple of young dudes in grungy 90s garb blasting out garage rock on guitar and drums. Strong.

Watch this: Mad Men, Series 7b

It's going to get sad, right? The second part of the last series of TV's best-dressed and ennui-heavy show begins on Sky Atlantic on 9 April and we can't see it ending well (at least for main man Don Draper). The programme's smooth ascent to stylish telly Valhalla has hit a slight bump with the needlessly disrupted final season and the inevitable impact of the 70s on the suits of Madison Avenue's finest. But, still, Don Draper remains resolutely sharp even as sideburns and jacket lapels expand all around him – and we'll be there to raise an Old Fashioned in his direction as he makes his last stand.

Wear this: new-season tailoring

If Don Draper's last waltz on our screens isn't reason enough up to fix up, look sharp for April, then perhaps the latest drop of fresh tailoring and occasionwear on ASOS will inspire you. Get ready for prom, wedding season or just making everyone at work jealous by exploring the latest slim and super-skinny cuts in bold, spring-ready colours as they hit site this month.

See this: The Districts on tour

Ragged-voiced, vintage-clad indie rockers The Districts are a solid proposition on record, but an altogether more exciting one live. The Pennsylvania quartet's jangly, melancholy Americana demands to rattle around a beer-stained dive bar and you can go see 'em in one during their upcoming UK mini tour (27-30 April), which takes in Brighton, London, Manchester and Glasgow. Listen to new single Heavy Begs here.
